Fulfilling the desires of the nafs

Zikr Majlis  |  14-01-2016  |  Poem of Kalaam of Hazrat Moulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sb (rah) was briefly explained. Satisfying the nafs leads a person to sin and transgression, which is a punishment of the ruh and spiritual self. The more we subdue the nafs the more the ruh becomes strong and illuminated. When Allah loves a person He gives them the ability to remember Him. If we want illumination in this world there is no other way but to immerse ourselves in the Zikr of Allah.
Allah causes the homes in which He is remembered to shine like stars for the inhabitants of the skies, just as we see the stars shining in the sky. Any good deed or ibaadat we do is only through the Fadl and karam of Allah Ta’ala, which is a great favour of which we are not even worthy, therefore we must make a lot of shukr for this favour upon us.
